Master of Arts in Archaeology and Social Anthropologyogy
Program Overview
Archaeology and social anthropology is the study of past and present human behaviour. This programme examines the diversity of ancient and modern human social and material culture. Your undergraduate dissertation in Year 4 can be in either subject.
Archaeology
Archaeology is the study of the human past from our origins several million years ago to recent times. Archaeologists use physical remains to study the lives, societies and cultures of past peoples.
Social Anthropology
In contrast, social anthropology is the study of human behaviour in living societies. Understanding a living society and its members involves participant observation. This can involve spending months or even years living with, and sharing the experiences of, the people being studied.
Societies around the world vary enormously socially, culturally and politically. The study of these variations, and the common humanity that underlies them, is at the heart of social anthropology.
